THE JOURNEY FROM DREAM TO REALITY
Updated: Jul 24
Today, when my wife, Vilma, sent me this video and these photographs of the Goiânia Missions Center – Millions for Christ, my heart was deeply moved.
What existed for so many years only as a dream that God planted in our hearts is now, little by little, becoming a reality before our eyes.
Every wall that has been raised, every room that has been prepared, and every detail of this project reminds us that God is always faithful to fulfill His promises.
God is still the God of the impossible.
Through this Missions Center, He can raise up a new generation of missionaries.
Year after year, dozens of men and women with a deep passion for serving Jesus Christ will be trained, equipped, and sent into the mission field.
In just a few years, thousands of God's servants could be reaching cities, villages, and nations where the Gospel has never been preached.
What seems like a dream today can become a great harvest for the Kingdom of God.
With God, all things are possible.
This journey has been marked by perseverance, dedication, and countless challenges.
We have walked through seasons of scarcity, faced closed doors, experienced disappointment, injustice, and even acts of dishonesty that could easily have caused us to
give up.
Then, in the midst of this journey, I suffered a heart attack.
There was a moment when I truly believed my mission had come to an end.
Humanly speaking, it seemed that everything would be interrupted.
But God had another plan.
He sustained me, restored my strength, and, by His grace, gave me another opportunity to continue serving His Kingdom.
Every new day is a reminder of His mercy, His care, and His unfailing faithfulness.
It was God who sustained us when our strength failed.
It was God who provided when our resources ran out.
It was God who opened doors that no one else could open.
We are still standing today, it is because God strengthened us.
We have overcome, it is because God fought for us.
And if this dream is now becoming a reality, it is because God has always been—and always will be—the true Author of this work.
Every sacrifice, every tear, every prayer, and every step taken bears witness to one unchanging truth:
When God leads the work, dreams are transformed into reality for His glory.
Our prayer is that the Goiânia Missions Center – Millions for Christ will become a beacon to the nations.
May it be a place where men and women are equipped, trained, and sent out to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ with passion, excellence, and unwavering commitment.
May this center become a launching place for missionaries who will reach unreached people groups, cities, villages, and nations with the life-changing message of Christ.
May every person who walks through these doors encounter the presence of God.
May they be transformed by His Spirit, strengthened by His Word, and inspired to dedicate their lives completely to serving Christ and advancing His Kingdom.
We also recognize that this vision has become possible because of the faithful prayers, generous support, and partnership of so many friends and supporters who have stood with us over the years.
Every contribution, every prayer, and every word of encouragement has become part of what God is building.
We are deeply grateful, and we believe that the eternal fruit of this ministry will also be credited to those who have invested in this mission.
To God alone be all honor, all glory, and all praise, now and forever.
"For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen."
— Romans 11:36
